I saw this today in Hobart. It was an extended chassis 'fender :D

I am guessing they are probably members here if not, its a great looking rig ;)

Dual rear wheels?

Is that the one that runs on the train line?

Would this be the 147" conversion the South Africans do? Or did?

No, it's a locally done conversion, the 147 has rear doors in the middle and rear doors, this has front doors in the middle.

Here's a picture of a South African jobby. The middle doors look to be the same length as front doors, like the Tazzie one, but the front window pillar has been corrected to match the B post.
